g. Available Shares; Reverse Split.  The Company shall have at all times authorized and reserved for issuance, free from preemptive rights, shares of Common Stock equal to three hundred percent (300%) of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the then-outstanding Debentures (including accrued interest thereon) as may be required to satisfy the conversion rights of the Buyers pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Debentures.  If the closing bid price of the Common Stock is below $0.05 on three (3) consecutive trading days, then the Company shall seek to implement a reverse stock split in a ratio of at least one-for-five (i.e., one new share of Common Stock shall be issued to replace five (5) or more existing shares of Common Stock, with the specific ratio to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors).  The Company shall monitor the foregoing on an ongoing basis.  If at any time either the Company does not have available an amount of authorized and unissued Shares required to be so reserved or the closing bid price of the Common Stock is below $0.05 on three (3) consecutive trading days, then the Company shall, without notice or demand by the Buyers, call within thirty (30) days of such occurrence and hold within sixty (60) days of such occurrence a special meeting of shareholders, for the sole purpose of increasing the number of shares authorized or implementing a reverse stock split of the Common Stock, as the case may be.  At the meeting, management of the Company shall recommend to shareholders that they vote in favor of increasing the number of shares of Common Stock authorized or of implementing the reverse split, as the case may be.  Members of the Company’s Management shall also vote all of their own shares in favor of increasing the number of shares of Common Stock authorized or implementing the reverse split, as the case may be, at the meeting.  If the increase in authorized shares or the reverse split is approved by the stockholders at the meeting, the Company shall implement the increase in authorized

 

 

h. Reimbursement.  If (i) any Buyer, other than by reason of its gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of law, becomes a party defendant in any capacity in any action or proceeding brought by any stockholder of the Company, in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or if such Buyer is impleaded in any such action, proceeding or investigation by any Person, or (ii) any Buyer, other than by reason of its gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of law, becomes a party defendant in any capacity in any action or proceeding brought by the SEC against or involving the Company or in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or if such Buyer is impleaded in any such action, proceeding or investigation by any Person, then in any such case, the Company will reimburse such Buyer for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith. The reimbursement obligations of the Company under this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to any affiliates of the Buyers who are actually named in such action, proceeding or investigation, and partners, directors, agents, employees and controlling Persons (if any), as the case may be, of the Buyers and any such Affiliate, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company, the Buyers and any such Affiliate and any such Person.  Except as otherwise set

 

i.  forth in the Transaction Documents, the Company also agrees that neither any Buyer nor any such Affiliate, partners, directors, agents, employees or controlling Persons shall have any liability to the Company or any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the Transaction Documents except to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Company result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Buyer or  from a breach of the representations, covenants and conditions contained herein or from a breach of law.

 

j. No New Indebtedness or Liens.  So long as any of the Debentures remain outstanding, the Company shall not, absent the prior written consent of the holders of all Debentures then outstanding, enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness or liens of any kind, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom that is senior to, or pari passu with, in any respect, the Company’s obligations under the Debentures, other than purchase money security interests granted to suppliers to the Company and any of the foregoing that are made in the ordinary course of business of the Company and its Subsidiaries.  Schedule 4(j) hereto sets forth all liens and encumbrances upon the assets of the Company as of the date hereof (the “Existing Liens”).  Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth above in this Section 4(j), the Existing Liens shall be permitted to remain in place until the Company’s underlying obligations have been satisfied, provided, however, that the incurrence of additional indebtedness or other obligations of the Company in connection with the Existing Liens shall not be permitted.  For example, if a creditor has an Existing Lien on certain assets of the Company to secure an obligation consisting of $100,000 indebtedness of the Company, then the Company shall not be permitted to increase the amount of indebtedness above the amount extant on the date of this Agreement (inclusive of interest which may accrue under the terms of such indebtedness) or to transfer or continue the Existing Lien in alternate indebtedness, notwithstanding any agreement between the Company and such creditor to do so.

 

k. No Payments to Affiliates or Related Parties.  So long as any of the Debentures remain outstanding, the Company shall not, absent the prior written consent of the holders of all Debentures then outstanding, make any payments in excess of twenty percent (20%) of the gross proceeds from any Closing, to any of the Company’s or the Subsidiaries’ respective affiliates or related parties, including without limitation payments or prepayments of principal or interest accrued on any indebtedness or obligation in favor of affiliates or related parties as described in Note 2 to the Company’s quarterly financial statements included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2009.

 

l. Notice of Material Adverse Effect.  The Company shall notify the Buyers (and any subsequent holder of the Debentures), as soon as practicable and in no event later than five (5) business days of the Company’s knowledge of any Material Adverse Effect on the Company.  For purposes of the foregoing, “knowledge” means the earlier of the Company’s actual knowledge or the Company’s constructive knowledge upon due inquiry.

 

5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.

 

a. The Company shall at all times while any Debentures are outstanding engage a Transfer Agent.  As of the date of this Agreement, the Transfer Agent is First American Stock Transfer. Within five (5) business days following the purchase by the Buyers of the Debentures in accordance with Section 1(c) hereof, the Company will irrevocably instruct its Transfer Agent in writing (with copies to be provided to the Placement Agent) to (i) reserve that number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to three hundred percent (300%) of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the then-outstanding Debentures (including accrued interest thereon) as may be required to satisfy the conversion rights of the Buyers pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Debentures, and (ii) issue Common Stock from time to time upon conversion of the Debentures in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Company to the Transfer Agent, bearing the restrictive legend specified in Section 4(b) of this Agreement

 

 

b. Periodically, if and to the extent necessary to increase the number of reserved shares to remain at 300% to account for any decrease in the market price of the Common Stock, the Company shall notify its registrar and Transfer Agent in writing of the reservation of such additional shares.  The Company shall provide the Placement Agent with a copy of such written instructions to the Company’s Transfer Agent simultaneously with the issuance of such instructions to the Transfer Agent.  The Company agrees that if the Buyer is not in breach of its representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, no instruction other than such instructions referred to in this Section 5 and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 4(a) hereof prior to registration and sale of the Converted Shares under the Securities Act, will be given by the Company to the Transfer Agent and that the Converted Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, Company Instructions or any Trading Opinion and applicable law.  Nothing in this Section 5(a) shall affect in any way the Buyers’ obligations and agreement to comply with all applicable securities laws upon resale of the Securities.

 

c. (i)      The Company will permit the Buyers to exercise their rights to convert the Debentures by telecopying or delivering an executed and completed Notice of Conversion to the Company.  The Company will within two (2) business days respond with its endorsement so as to confirm the outstanding principal amount of any Debenture submitted for conversion or shall reconcile any difference with the Buyer promptly after receiving such Notice of Conversion.

 

(ii) The term “Conversion Date” means, with respect to any conversion elected by the holder of the Debentures, the date specified in the Notice of Conversion, provided the copy of the Notice of Conversion is given either via mail or facsimile to or otherwise delivered to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof so that it is received by the Company on or before such specified date.

 

(iii) The Company will transmit the certificates representing the Converted Shares issuable upon conversion of any Debentures (together, unless otherwise instructed by the Buyer, with Debentures not being so converted) to the Buyer at the address specified in the Notice of Conversion (which may be the Buyer’s address for notices as contemplated by Section 12 hereof or a different address) via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise, within five (5) business days if the address for delivery is in the United States and within seven (7) business days if the address for delivery is outside the United States (such fifth business day or seventh business day, as the case may be, the “Delivery Date”) after (A) the business day on which the Company has received the Notice of Conversion (by facsimile or other delivery) or (B) the date on which payment of interest and principal on the Debentures, which the Company has elected to pay by the issuance of Common Stock, as contemplated by the Debentures, was due, as the case may be.

 

d. From and after the date on which the Shares have been registered under the Securities Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, the failure to issue unrestricted, freely tradable Conversion Shares to the Buyers upon Conversion shall be considered an Event of Default, which if not cured after ten (10) days, shall entitle the Buyer(s) whose Debentures are being converted to demand that the Debentures held by such Buyer(s) be immediately redeemed in full by a cash payment equal to 130% of the aggregate of the unpaid principal amount of and accrued interest on such Debentures (whether or not the terms of such Debentures expressly permit the redemption thereof).  The Company acknowledges that its failure to honor a Notice of Conversion shall cause definable financial hardship on the Buyer(s).

 

e. The Company shall inform the Transfer Agent of the reservation of shares contemplated by Section 4(g) and this Section 5, and shall keep current in its payment obligations to the Transfer Agent such that the Transfer Agent will continue to process share transfers and the initial issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of Debentures.  The Company hereby authorizes the Transfer Agent to correspond and otherwise communicate with the Buyers or their representatives in connection with the foregoing and other matters related to the Common Stock.  Further, the Company hereby authorizes the Buyers or their representatives to provide instructions to the Transfer Agent that are consistent with the foregoing and instructs the Transfer Agent to honor any such instructions.  Should the Company fail for any reason to keep current in its payment obligations to the Transfer Agent, the Buyers may pay such amounts as are necessary to return the Company to good standing with the Transfer Agent, and all amounts so paid shall be promptly reimbursed by the Company.  If not so reimbursed within thirty (30) days, such amounts shall, at the option of the Buyer(s) who paid amounts to the Transfer Agent but without prior notice to or consent of the Company, be added to the principal amount due under the Debenture(s) held by such Buyer(s), whereupon interest will begin to accrue on such amounts at the rate specified in the Debentures.

 

f. Each Buyer shall be entitled to exercise its conversion privilege with respect to the Debentures notwithstanding the commencement of any case under 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”).  In the event the Company is a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of such Buyer’s conversion privilege.  The Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of the conversion of the Debentures.  The Company agrees, without cost or expense to such Buyer, to take or to consent to any and all action necessary to effectuate relief under 11 U.S.C. §362.

 

6. CLOSING DATES.

 

a. The purchases and sales of Debentures will occur at one or more Closings under this Agreement, the first of which will occur after Buyers have deposited not less than $100,000 of the Purchase Price in the Escrow for the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, on a Closing Date determined by the Placement Agent and the Company.  Subsequent Closing(s) under this Agreement will occur after Buyers who will purchase the balance or a portion thereof of the Debentures to be purchased and sold under this Agreement have deposited the  amount of their Purchase Prices in the Escrow, with the Closing Date(s) from time to time.  The final Closing shall occur after the Buyers who will purchase the balance of the Debentures to be purchased and sold under this Agreement (which may be in any amount up to $700,000, in the aggregate) have deposited the full amount of their Purchase Prices in the Escrow, with the Closing Date of such final Closing (the “Final Closing Date”) to occur on the date determined by the Placement Agent or the Company; provided, that should no additional amounts be deposited into the Escrow, the Final Closing Date shall be a date determined by the Placement Agent, acting in its sole discretion.  If any of the conditions precedent to Closing set forth in Sections 7 or 8 are not satisfied and are not waived within thirty (30) days by the party which benefits from such conditions (i.e., the Company, in the case of those conditions set forth in Section 7 and the Buyer(s), in the case of those conditions set forth in Section 8), then the Offering shall terminate, and the Company shall provide written notice of termination to the escrow agent administering the Escrow so stating and instructing the escrow agent to return to the Buyer(s) the amounts held in the Escrow furnished by the Buyer(s), provided, that if the Company does not promptly so furnish such notice and instructions, then the Placement Agent may, in the Company’s stead, provide such notice and instructions, which shall for all purposes be construed as if the same was provided by the Company.

 

b. In the case of each Closing, the Closing Date shall occur after each of the conditions contemplated by Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall have either been satisfied or been waived by the party in whose favor such conditions run.  It is anticipated that the initial Closing will occur as soon as reasonably practical after the minimum investment in the Offering has been deposited into the Escrow.  Following the initial Closing, assuming additional funds representing the Purchase Price of Debentures sought to be acquired are furnished by Buyers into the Escrow, absent a contrary agreement by the Placement Agent and the Company, subsequent Closing(s) will occur on or about the second-to-last last business day of each month while the Offering is being made, prior to the final Closing.

 

c. In the case of each Closing, the Closing of the purchase and issuance of Debentures shall occur on the respective Closing Date at the offices of the Placement Agent’s counsel, Sullivan & Worcester LLP, 1290 Avenue of the Americas, 32nd Floor, New York, NY  10104, and shall take place no later than 3:00 P.M., New York time, on such day or such other time as is mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Buyers.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE DUE [_________________, 2012]

 

Date of Issuance:  [_________________] [CLOSING DATE OF THIS BUYER’S FUNDING]

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ALUMIFUEL POWER CORPORATION, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Nevada (the "Company"), hereby promises to pay to [________________], having its address at [_________________________________________] or its assigns (the "Holder" and together with the other holders of Debentures issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined below), the "Holders"), the principal sum of [___________________] and 00/100 Dollars ($_______________) on [___________, 201__] [THIRD ANNIVERSARY OF FINAL CLOSING DATE] (the "Maturity Date") and to pay simple interest on the principal sum outstanding from time to time in arrears (i) upon conversion as provided herein or (ii) on the Maturity Date, at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 10 hereof).  Interest shall commence to accrue on this Debenture on the first such business day to occur after the date hereof and shall continue on a daily basis until payment in full of the principal sum has been made or duly provided for or until the full outstanding amount of this Debenture has been converted in accordance with the provisions hereof.  The Company has the option to redeem this Debenture prior to the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2(b).  All unpaid principal and interest due and payable on the Maturity Date shall be paid in the form of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock") pursuant to Section 3.  The Holder has the option to cause any outstanding principal and interest on this Debenture to be converted into Common Stock at any time prior to the Redemption Date (as defined below) or the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2(a).

 

This Debenture is the Debenture referred to in the Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") dated as of September 15, 2009, between the Company and the Holder, is subject to the provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement and further is subject to the following additional provisions:

 

1. This Debenture has been issued subject to investment representations of the original purchaser hereof and may be transferred or exchanged only (a) with the Company’s prior written consent, which consent the Company may grant or withhold, in its sole discretion, and (b) in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable state and foreign securities laws.  In the event of any proposed transfer of this Debenture to which the Company has granted its consent, the Company may require, prior to issuance of a new Debenture in the name of such other Person, that it receive reasonable transfer documentation including legal opinions that the issuance of the Debenture in such other name does not and will not cause a violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state or foreign securities laws. Prior to due presentment for transfer of this Debenture to which the Company has consented, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the Person in whose name this Debenture is duly registered on the Company's Debenture Register as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Debenture be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

2. Conversion at Holder’s Option; Redemption at Company’s Option.

 

a.           The Holder is entitled to, at any time or from time to time, convert the Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock, at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock (the “Conversion Price") equal to seventy five percent (75%) of the lowest closing bid price per share (as reported by Bloomberg LP) of Common Stock for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion (subject to equitable adjustments resulting from any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar events occurring during such 20-day period).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder shall not be entitled to convert any part of this Debenture as to which the Company has previously issued to the Holder a Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 2(b).  If the Debenture is the subject of an acceleration following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the delivery by a Holder of a Conversion Notice following such acceleration shall be deemed a waiver of such Event of Default by such Holder only, which waiver shall only be applicable to the amount of the Debenture that is sought to be converted pursuant to the Conversion Notice, with the unconverted balance of the indebtedness represented by such Debenture remaining subject to the Event of Default and acceleration notwithstanding such waiver.  The Conversion Price will be adjusted as provided in Section 6.  For purposes of this Debenture, the following terms have the meanings indicated below:

 

(i) “Conversion Amount” shall mean the sum of (A) all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, as designated by the Holder upon exercise of its right of conversion plus (B) all interest that has accrued on the portion of the principal amount that has been designated for payment pursuant to (A).

 

(ii) “Market Price of the Common Stock” means (x) the closing bid price of the Common Stock for the period indicated in the relevant provision hereof (unless a different relevant period is specified in the relevant provision), as reported by Bloomberg, LP or, if not so reported, as reported on the over-the-counter market or (y) if the Common Stock is listed on a stock exchange, the closing price on such exchange, as reported in The Wall Street Journal.

 

(iii) “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for business.

 

Conversion shall be effectuated by delivering by facsimile or other delivery to the Company of the completed form of conversion notice attached hereto as Exhibit A, executed by the Holder of the Debenture evidencing such Holder's intention to convert this Debenture or a specified portion hereof.  No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.  The date on which notice of conversion is given (the "Conversion Date") shall be deemed to be the date on which the Company receives by fax or by mail the conversion notice (“Notice of Conversion”), substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A, duly executed, to the Company.  Facsimile delivery of the Notice of Conversion shall be accepted by the Company at facsimile number ###-###-####, Attention: Corporate Secretary (or to such other facsimile number as the Company may hereafter advise the Holder in writing).  Certificates representing Common Stock upon conversion (and, if applicable, a Trading Opinion) must be delivered to the Holder within five (5) business days from the date of delivery of the Notice of Conversion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Holder delivers to the Company written notice at least sixty-one (61) days prior to the effective date of such notice that the provisions of this paragraph (the “Limitation on Ownership”) shall not apply to such Holder, in no event shall a holder of Debentures have the right to convert Debentures into, nor shall the Company issue to such Holder, shares of Common Stock to the extent that such conversion would result in the Holder and its affiliates together beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.  For purposes hereof, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13D-G thereunder.

 

b.           So long as no Event of Default (as defined in Section 10) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company may at its option call for redemption all or part of the Debentures prior to the Maturity Date, as follows:

 

 

(i)

The Debentures called for redemption shall be redeemable for an amount (the “Redemption Price”) equal to (x) if this Debenture is called for redemption prior to the date which is earlier than six months from the Issuance Date set forth on the first page of this Debenture (the “Issuance Date”), one hundred twenty percent (120%), or if this Debenture is called for redemption on or after the date that is six months from the Issuance Date, one hundred thirty one percent (131%), in either case of the principal amount called for redemption, plus (y) interest accrued through the day immediately preceding the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”).

 

 

(ii)	If fewer than all outstanding Debentures are to be redeemed, then all Debentures shall be partially redeemed on a pro rata basis.

 

 

(iii)

Prior to the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit into escrow an amount sufficient for the payment of the aggregate Redemption Price of the Debentures being called for redemption and shall make such funds available on and after the Redemption Date for payment to the Holders who present their Debentures and otherwise comply with the Company’s instructions contained in the Redemption Notice (as defined below).

 

 

(iv)

On the Redemption Date, the Company shall cause the Holders whose Debentures have been presented for redemption to be issued payment of the Redemption Price.  In the case of a partial redemption, the Company shall also issue new Debentures to the Holders for the principal amount remaining outstanding after the Redemption Date promptly after the Holders’ presentation of the Debentures called for redemption.

 

 

(v)	Not less than ten (10) days prior to the Redemption Date, the Company shall issue a notice (the “Redemption Notice”) to each Holder setting forth the following:

 

 

1.	the Redemption Date;

 

 

2.	the Redemption Price;

 

 

3.	the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures being called for redemption;

 

 

4.	a statement instructing the Holders to surrender their Debentures for redemption and payment of the Redemption Price, including the name and address of the Company or, if applicable, the paying agent of the Company, where Debentures are to be surrendered for redemption;

 

 

5.

a statement advising the Holders that (x) interest will cease to accrue on the Debentures (or, in the case of a partial redemption, that portion of the Debentures being called for redemption) as of the Redemption Date, and (y) that the Debentures (or, in the case of a partial redemption, that portion of the Debentures being called for redemption) as of the Redemption Date will cease to be convertible into Common Stock as of the Redemption Date; and

 

 

6.	in the case of a partial redemption, a statement advising the Holders that after the Redemption Date a substitute Debenture will be issued by the Company after deduction the portion thereof called for redemption, at no cost to the Holder.

 

 

3. Unless demand has otherwise been made by the Holder in writing for payment in cash as provided hereunder, any Debentures not previously tendered to the Company for conversion as of the Maturity Date shall be deemed to have been surrendered for conversion, without further action of any kind by the Company or any of its agents, employees or representatives, as of the Maturity Date at the Conversion Price applicable on the Maturity Date (“Mandatory Conversion”).

 

 

4. No provision of this Debenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional to convert this Debenture into Common Stock, at the time, place, and rate herein prescribed.  This Debenture is a direct obligation of the Company.

 

5. If the Company (a) merges or consolidates with another corporation or business entity and the Company is not the surviving entity or (b) sells or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to another Person and the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive stock, securities or property in respect of or in exchange for Common Stock, then as a condition of such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, the Company and any such successor, purchaser or transferee will agree that this Debenture may thereafter be converted on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth above into the kind and amount of stock, securities or property receivable upon such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Debenture might have been converted immediately before such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, subject to adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.  In the event of any (i) proposed merger or consolidation where the Company is not the surviving entity or (ii) sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (in either such case, a "Sale"), the Holder shall have the right to convert by delivering a Notice of Conversion to the Company within fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice of such Sale from the Company.

 

6. If, at any time while any portion of this Debenture remains outstanding, the Company effectuates a stock split or reverse stock split of its Common Stock or issues a dividend on its Common Stock consisting of shares of Common Stock or otherwise recapitalizes its Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such action.  By way of illustration, and not in limitation, of the foregoing (i) if the Company effectuates a 2:1 split of its Common Stock, thereafter, with respect to any conversion for which the Company issues the shares after the record date of such split, the Conversion Price shall be deemed to be one-half of what it had been calculated to be immediately prior to such split; (ii) if the Company effectuates a 1:10 reverse split of its Common Stock, thereafter, with respect to any conversion for which the Company issues the shares after the record date of such reverse split, the Conversion Price shall be deemed to be the amount of such Conversion Price calculated immediately prior to the record date multiplied by 10; and (iii) if the Company declares a stock dividend of one share of Common Stock for every 10 shares outstanding, thereafter, with respect to any conversion for which the Company issues the shares after the record date of such dividend, the Conversion Price shall be deemed to be the amount of such Conversion Price calculated immediately prior to such record date multiplied by a fraction, of which the numerator is the number of shares for which a dividend share will be issued and the denominator is such number of shares plus the dividend share(s) issuable or issued thereon.

 

7. All payments contemplated hereby to be made “in cash” shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.  All payments of cash and each delivery of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder as contemplated hereby shall be made to the Holder to an account designated by the Holder to the Company and if the Holder has not designated any such accounts at the address last appearing on the Debenture Register of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder from time to time; except that the Holder may designate, by notice to the Company, a different delivery address for any one or more specific payments or deliveries.

 

8. The Holder of the Debenture, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Debenture is being acquired for investment and that such Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Debenture or the Shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof except in compliance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state Blue Sky or foreign laws or similar laws relating to the sale of securities.

 

9. This Debenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of the federal courts whose districts encompass any part of the City of New York or the state courts of the State of New York sitting in the City and County of New York in connection with any dispute arising under this Agreement and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on forum non conveniens, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions.  To the extent determined by such court, the Company shall reimburse the Holder for any reasonable legal fees and disbursements incurred by the Holder in enforcement of or protection of any of its rights under this Debenture or the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

10. The following shall constitute an "Event of Default":

d.           The Company shall fail to perform or observe, in any material respect (i) any other covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement or obligation of the Debenture, provided that, other than in the case of such failure under Section 5 hereof, as to which no cure period shall apply, such failure shall continue uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from the holder of such failure, or (ii) any covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement or obligation of the Company under the Securities Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement and such failure shall continue uncured for a period of either (a) three (3) days after the occurrence of the Company’s failure under Section 4(d), (e) (except as described in clause (i) of Section 10(c), as to which Section 10(c) shall control), (f), (g) or (h) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, or (b) thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the Company’s failure under any other provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement or of the Registration Rights Agreement, as the case may be; or

g.           Any governmental agency or any court of competent jurisdiction at the instance of any governmental agency shall assume custody or control of the whole or any substantial portion of the properties or assets of the Company and shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter; or

i.           The occurrence of an event of default under the terms of any indebtedness of the Company or any subsidiary (including but not limited to any Subsidiary) of the Company in the aggregate amount of $50,000 or more which is not waived by the creditors under such indebtedness (as to which no cure period shall apply); or

 

j.           Bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Company and, if instituted against the Company, shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days after such institution or the Company shall by any action or answer approve of, consent to, or acquiesce in any such proceedings or admit the material allegations of, or default in answering a petition filed in any such proceeding; or

 

k.           The issuance of an order, ruling, finding or similar adverse determination by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or any other securities regulatory body (whether in the United States, Canada or elsewhere) having proper jurisdiction that the Company and/or any of its past or present directors or officers have committed a material violation of applicable securities laws or regulations; or

 

l.           The Company shall have its Common Stock suspended or delisted from an exchange for a period in excess of five (5) trading days; or

 

m.           Any of the following shall occur:  (i) any of the commitments, contingencies or notes payable described in Note 2 to the Company’s quarterly financial statements included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2009 which remain outstanding as of the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement shall be paid in cash or shall become immediately due and payable by the Company, in each case in an amount equal to $50,000 or more, singly or in the aggregate or (ii) any other event, circumstance or combination thereof shall have occurred which, singly or when taken as a whole, result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

Then, or at any time thereafter, the Company shall immediately give written notice of the occurrence of such Event of Default to the Holders of all Debentures then outstanding, and in each and every such case, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by a majority in interest of the Holders of the Debentures (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default), then at the option of a majority in interest of the Holders and in the discretion of a majority in interest of the Holders, (i) the interest rate applicable to the Debentures shall be increased to the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum and the maximum interest rate allowable under applicable law, and (ii) the Holder may at its option and discretion declare this Debenture, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, in an amount equal to 130% of the principal plus accrued and unpaid interest (the “Acceleration Amount”), to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kinds, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein or in any note or other instruments contained to the contrary notwithstanding.  A majority in interest of the Holders may immediately enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a default under Section 10(c), the Holder of the Debenture sought to be converted, transferred or de-legended, as the case may be, acting singly, shall have the sole and absolute discretion to increase the applicable interest rate on the Debentures held by such Holder and/or to declare the Debenture(s) held by such Holder to be immediately due and payable.  The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Acceleration Amount as so increased in the event of a default is reasonable and appropriate due to the inability to define the financial hardship that the Company’s default would impose on the Holders.

 

11. Nothing contained in this Debenture shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders or any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company, unless and to the extent converted in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

12. This Debenture may be amended only by the written consent of the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the principal amount of this Debenture shall automatically be reduced by any and all Conversion Amounts (to the extent that the same relate to principal hereof).  In the absence of manifest error, the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture on the Company’s book and records shall be the correct amount.

 

13. No waivers or consents in regard to any provision of this Debenture may be given other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Holder.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Debenture to be duly executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized.

WHEREAS, to induce the Investors to execute and deliver the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, or any similar successor statute (collectively, the "Securities Act"), with respect to the Conversion Shares;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Investors hereby agree as follows:

d. "Register," "Registered," and "Registration" refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a Registration Statement or Statements in compliance with the Securities Act and pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule providing for offering securities on a continuous basis ("Rule 415"), and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such Registration Statement by the SEC.

2. Piggy-back Registration.  From and after the date that is ninety (90) days after the date of this Agreement and until the  third anniversary of the Closing Date, for so long as any of the Registrable Securities are outstanding and are not the subject of an effective registration statement, if the Company contemplates making an offering of Common Stock (or other equity securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) registered for sale under the Securities Act or proposes to file a Registration Statement covering any of its securities other than (i) a registration on Form S-8 or S-4, or any successor or similar forms; and (ii) a shelf registration under Rule 415 for the sole purpose of registering shares to be issued in connection with the acquisition of assets, the Company will at each such time give prompt written notice to the Holders’ Representative and the Investors of its intention to do so and of the Investor’s rights under this Agreement.  Upon the written request of any Investor made within thirty (30) days after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and the intended method of disposition thereof), the Company will use its best efforts to effect the registration of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Investors, to the extent requisite to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods of disposition) of the Registrable Securities by the Investors requesting registration, by inclusion of such Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement which covers the securities which the Company proposes to register; provided, that if the Company is unable to register the full amount of Registrable Securities in an “at the market offering” under Commission rules and regulations due to the high percentage of the Company’s Common Stock the Registrable Securities represents (giving effect to all other securities being registered in the Registration Statement), then the Company may reduce, on a pro rata basis,

 

 

3. Obligations of the Company.  In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall do each of the following:

 

(a)           Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the Registration Statement as set forth in Section 2 and the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective at all times during the period through the earliest of (i) the date that is five (5) years after the last day of the calendar month following the month in which the Registration Statement so filed is declared effective by the SEC, (ii) the date when the Investors may sell all Registrable Securities under Rule 144, or (iii) the date the Investors no longer own any of the Registrable Securities (the “Registration Period”), Registration Period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in the Registration Statement;

 

(b)           The Company shall permit a single firm of legal counsel designated by the Holders’ Representative (the “Investors’ Counsel”) to review drafts of the Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto a reasonable period of time (but not less than three (3) business days) prior to their filing with the SEC, and not file any document in a form to which such Investors’ Counsel reasonably objects.  If the Investors’ Counsel objects, the Company shall take under advisement such objections and shall endeavor to promptly make such revisions to the Registration Statement (or ancillary documents and/or SEC filings in connection therewith) as are necessary to satisfy the objections of the Investors’ Counsel;

 

(c)           Notify the Holders’ Representative and the Investors’ Counsel, and any managing underwriters immediately (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than five (5) days prior to the contemplated date of such filing) and (if requested by any the Holders' Representative) confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) business day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) whenever the SEC notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of  Registration Statement; (C) whenever the Company receives (or a representative of the Company receives on its behalf) any oral or written comments from the SEC relating to a Registration Statement (copies or, in the case of oral comments, summaries of such comments shall be promptly furnished by the Company to the Holders’ Representative and the Investor’s Counsel); and (D) with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when

(e)           As promptly as practicable after becoming aware thereof, notify the Holders’ Representative of the happening of any event of which the Company has actual knowledge, as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and use its best efforts promptly to prepare a supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement or other appropriate filing with the SEC to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a number of copies of such supplement or amendment to the Holders' Representative and each Investor as such Investor may reasonably request;

 

(f)           As promptly as practicable (and in any event not later than one (1) business day) after becoming aware thereof, notify the Holders’ Representative of the issuance by the SEC of a Notice of Effectiveness or any notice of effectiveness or any stop order or other suspension of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the earliest possible time;

 

(g)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time or from time to time after the date of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, the Company notifies the Holders’ Representative in writing of the existence of a Potential Material Event, the Investors shall not offer or sell any Registrable Securities, or engage in any other transaction involving or relating to the Registrable Securities, from the time of the giving of notice with respect to a Potential Material Event until such Investor receives written notice from the Company that such Potential Material Event either has been disclosed to the public or no longer constitutes a Potential Material Event; provided, however, that the Company may not so suspend the right to such Holders of Registrable Securities for more than two twenty (20) business day periods in the aggregate during any 12-month period ("Suspension Period") with at least a ten (10) business day interval between such periods, during the periods the Registration Statement is required to be in effect;

 

(h)           Use its  reasonable efforts to secure and maintain the designation of all the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement on the NASDAQ/National Market System or the "OTC Bulletin Board Market" or any successor thereto of the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System ("NASDAQ") within the meaning of Rule 11Aa2-1 of the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the quotation of the Registrable Securities on The NASDAQ National Market System; and further use its efforts to arrange for at least two market makers to register with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") as such with respect to such Registrable Securities;

 

(i)           Provide a Transfer Agent and registrar, which may be a single entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than one (1) business day after the effective date of the Registration Statement;

 

(j)           Cooperate with the Investors to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates for the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to the Registration Statement and enable such certificates for the Registrable Securities to be in such denominations or amounts as the case may be, as the Investors may reasonably request, and, within five (5) business days after a Registration Statement which includes Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver, to the Transfer Agent for the Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement) an appropriate instruction and opinion of such counsel;

 

(k)           Take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investor of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement;

 

(l)           Not take, or omit to take, any actions that would preclude the filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement or require the withdrawal of the Registration Statement;

 

(m)           If the Registration Statement has been filed but has not been declared effective by the SEC, not complete any acquisitions or business combinations until the SEC has declared effective the Registration Statement that registers the Registrable Securities.

 

4. Payments by the Company.  Unless the Company's performance is waived in writing by the Holders' Representative:

 

(i) If the Company fails to satisfy its obligations under Sections 2 or 3, then the Company shall immediately pay to the Investors without demand therefor a cash amount equal to 2% per month of the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures and, until such time as all such obligations shall have been satisfied, the same amount shall accrue and become payable to the Investors within three days on each subsequent month until such obligations shall have been satisfied.  In light of the difficulty of ascertaining the amount of damage that the Investors will suffer as a result of the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations under Sections 2 or 3, all amounts payable under this Section 4 shall be payable as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty.  The Company shall keep the Registration Statement effective throughout the Registration Period.

 

(ii) The parties acknowledge that the damages which may be incurred by the Investors if the Company fails to satisfy any of its obligations under Sections 2 or 3 may be difficult to ascertain.  The parties agree that the payments to be paid to the Investors under this Section 4 represent a reasonable estimate on the part of the parties, as of the date of this Agreement, of the amount of such damages.

 

5. Obligations of the Investors.  In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the Investors shall have the following obligations:

 

(a) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.  At least ten (10) business days prior to the first anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor of the information the Company requires from each such Investor (the "Requested Information") if such Investor elects to have any of such Investor's Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement.  If at least two (2) business days prior to the filing date the Company has not received the Requested Information from an Investor (a "Non-Responsive Investor"), then the Company may file the Registration Statement without including Registrable Securities of such Non-Responsive Investor;

 

(b) Each Investor, by such Investor's acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor's election to exclude all of such Investor's Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement; and

 

(c) Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d) or 3(e), above, such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(d) or 3(e) and, if so directed by the Company, such Investor shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction) all copies in such Investor's possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.

 

(d) Each holder of Registrable Securities that sells Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration under this Agreement agrees that in connection with registration as follows:

 

(i) Such seller shall cooperate as reasonably requested by the Company with the Company in connection with the preparation of the registration statement, and for as long as the Company is obligated to file and keep effective the registration statement, shall provide to the Company, in writing, for use in the registration statement, all such information regarding such seller and its plan of distribution of the Registrable Securities as may reasonably be necessary to enable the Company to prepare the registration statement and prospectus covering the Registrable Securities, to maintain the currency and effectiveness thereof and otherwise to comply with all applicable requirements of law in connection therewith; and

 

(ii) During such time as such seller may be engaged in a distribution of the Registrable Securities, such seller shall comply with Rules 10b-6 and 10b-7 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act and pursuant thereto it shall, among other things; (x) not engage in any stabilization activity in connection with the securities of the Company in contravention of such rules; (y) distribute the Registrable Securities under the registration statement solely in the manner described in the registration statement; and (z) cease distribution of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement upon written notice from the Company that the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities contains any untrue statement of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

 

6. Expenses of Registration.

 

(a) All reasonable expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions of the Investors) incurred for the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities applicable to the Debentures shall be borne by the Company, up to an aggregate amount of $50,000 in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, a fee for the Investors’ Counsel of not more than $5,000 and including, without limitation, all registration, listing, and qualifications fees, printers, legal and accounting fees and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company.

 

(b) The Company does not have, as of the date hereof, and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries (including but not limited to any Subsidiary) shall have, on or after the date of this Agreement, entered into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Investors in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.  Except as disclosed in the Securities Purchase Agreement or the other documents entered into simultaneously therewith, the Company has not previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the written consent of the Investors holding a majority of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall not grant to any Person the right to request the Company to register any securities of the Company under the Securities Act unless the rights so granted are subject in all respects to the prior rights in full of the Investors set forth herein, and are not otherwise in conflict or inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

 

7. Indemnification.  In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

 

(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Holders’ Representative, the Investor’s Counsel and each Investor who holds such Registrable Securities, the directors, managers, partners, stockholders and members, if any, of the Holders’ Representative, the Investor’s Counsel or such Investor, the officers and employees, if any, of the Holders’ Representative, the Investor’s Counsel or such Investor, and each Person, if any, who controls the Holders’ Representative, the Investors Counsel or any Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an "Indemnified Person" or "Indemnified Party"), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (joint or several) incurred (collectively, "Claims") to which any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations in the Registration Statement, or any post-effective amendment thereof, or any prospectus included therein: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation under the Securities Act, the

8. Contribution.  To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 7 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that (a) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 7; (b) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and (c) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

 

9. Reports under Exchange Act.  With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration ("Rule 144"), the Company agrees to:

 

a. make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

 

b. file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;

d.   cause its counsel to deliver to its Transfer Agent such opinions of law as shall be required to remove restrictive legends on the shares to be sold in the standard form then employed for such purpose by such counsel or in such other form as is reasonably acceptable to such Transfer Agent.

 

10. Amendment of Registration Rights.  Any provision of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and Investors who hold a fifty (50%) percent interest of the Registrable Securities.  Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company.

 

11. Appointment and Indemnification of Holders’ Representative.  Each of the Investors hereby appoints as the Holders’ Representative Divine Capital Markets, LLC to so act until such time as all Registrable Securities have become Registered and there shall be no Debentures issued and outstanding, or such time as a successor to the then-acting Holders’ Representative is appointed in writing signed by the Investors representing greater than 50% of the then-outstanding Debentures and Registrable Securities.  The Holders’ Representative shall have full discretion and authority, without consultation with the Holders, to accept and give notices on behalf of the Holders, to communicate with the Holders at such times and in such manner as the Holders’ Representative in its discretion determines is appropriate and to grant extensions of deadlines or waive any payment obligations set forth in Sections 2 and 3 hereof.  The Holders' Representative shall not have discretion or authority to exercise any investment discretion over the Debentures, including causing the conversion of any Debentures, absent a Holder's express written authority.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in the Securities Purchase Agreement or the Debentures, the Holders’ Representative shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Holders’ Representative have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Holder, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or the Securities Purchase Agreement or Debentures or otherwise exist against the Holders’ Representative.  The Holders shall indemnify upon demand the Holders’ Representative (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Company and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so under Section 7 hereof or under any other agreement or applicable law), pro rata, and hold harmless the Holders’ Representative from and against any and all against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (joint or several) incurred (collectively, "Holders’ Representative’s Claims") incurred by it; provided, however, that no Holder shall be liable for the payment to the Holders’ Representative of any portion of such Holders’ Representative’s Claims to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Holders’ Representative’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Holders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 11.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Holder shall reimburse the Holders’ Representative upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Holders’ Representative in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Debentures, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Holders’ Representative is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Company.

 

12. Miscellaneous.

 

a. A Person or entity is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person or entity owns of record such Registrable Securities.  If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons or entities with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.

e. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

TO THE BUYERS

NAMED ON SCHEDULE I

Re:           Securities Purchase Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel AlumiFuel Power Corporation. (the "Company"), a Nevada corporation, in connection with the transactions under (i) the Securities Purchase Agreement by and among each entity named therein as a “Buyer” (each, a “Buyer”) and the Company, dated as of September 15, 2009 (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"), (ii) the Registration Rights Agreement between the Buyers and the Company, dated as of September 15, 2009 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) and (iii) the Company’s Convertible Debenture due 201__ (the "Debentures," and, together with the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the "Transaction Documents").  This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 8 of the Securities Purchase Agreement.  All capitalized terms used herein have the meanings defined for them in the Securities Purchase Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.

 

As counsel to the Company, we have examined originals or copies of such corporate records of the Company, certificates of public officials and such other documents as we have deemed necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion letter.

 

In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed (i) the valid existence in the jurisdiction of its organization of each party to the Transaction Documents other than the Company, (ii) the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the parties thereto other than the Company, (iii) the power and authority of each party to the Transaction Documents, other than the Company, to execute, deliver and perform the same without violating its certificate of incorporation or bylaws or any other organizational or governing documents or any law or governmental rule or regulation applicable to it, (iv) that the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by each party thereto, other than the Company, will not conflict with, constitute a default under or result in a breach of any requirement of law or any contractual obligation of any such party, (v) the genuineness of all signatures and the authority of all Persons signing each of the Transaction Documents on behalf of the parties thereto other than the Company, and (iv) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.

 

As to certain factual matters, we have, to the extent deemed appropriate by us, relied upon certificates of officers of the Company and the Buyers (including, without limitation, all certificates delivered by them in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the representations and warranties of the Company and the Buyers contained in the Transaction Documents (including the Schedules and Exhibits thereto), and we have not independently verified the information contained in such certificates or the Transaction Documents.

 

As used herein, "to our knowledge" means the conscious awareness (without any independent investigation) of facts or other information by any lawyer in our Firm actively involved in the negotiation of the transactions described herein. The term "to our knowledge" specifically excludes all factual matters that would be known to us by constructive, implied or imputed knowledge.

 

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications hereinafter set forth, we are of the opinion that:

 

1.

The Company is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Nevada and its status is active.  The Company has the corporate or, as the case may be, to conduct its business and, to our knowledge, is qualified as a foreign corporation or limited liability company, as the case may be, to do business and is in good standing in the state of its organization and each other jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure to so qualify or be in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

2.

The Company has the corporate power to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents and to sell, issue and deliver the Debentures. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been authorized by all necessary corporate action. Each of the Transaction Documents has been executed and delivered by the Company, and each of the Transaction Documents constitutes valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company under the law of New York and the federal law of the United States.

 

3.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without limitation, the sale, issuance and delivery of the Debentures, do not to our knowledge (i) result in a violation of the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the "Articles”) or By-Laws; (ii) conflict with, or constitute a material default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a material default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, indenture, instrument or any "lock-up" or similar provision of any underwriting or similar agreement to which the Company is a party; or (iii) result in a violation of any federal or state law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, except for such violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

4.

Assuming the accuracy of the Buyers’ representations and warranties under Section 2 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the purchase and sale of the Debentures pursuant to the Transaction Documents is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended), pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof.

 

5.	To our knowledge, there are no claims, actions, suits, proceedings or investigations that are pending against the Company which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

6.	Upon conversion of the Debenture in accordance with the terms therein, the Common Stock to be issued thereunder will be authorized, issued and fully paid in non-assessable shares of the Company.

 

7.

The authorized capital stock of the Company is 510,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which (i) 10,000,000 are shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which [___________ shares are designated as ____________, of which _____________ shares are issued and outstanding] and (ii) 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which _______________ shares are issued and outstanding.

 

Our opinions expressed herein are qualified as follows:

A. The opinions expressed herein are qualified to the extent that the validity, binding effect and enforceability against the Company of its obligations under the Transaction Documents may be limited or otherwise afforded by the unenforceability, under certain circumstances, of provisions indemnifying, or prospectively releasing, a party against liability for its own wrongful or negligent acts or where a release or indemnification provision is contrary to public policy.

 

B. Our opinions concerning the validity, binding effect and enforceability against the Company of its obligations under the Transaction Documents mean that (i) the Transaction Documents constitute an effective contract under applicable law, (ii) the Transaction Documents are not invalid in their entirety because of a specific statutory prohibition or public policy and are not subject in their entirety to a contractual defense, and (iii) some remedy is available if the Company is in material default under the Transaction Documents.  Our opinions herein on the enforceability of the Company's obligations under the Transaction Documents are qualified to the extent that: (iv) the availability of any specific remedy provided therein and any other equitable remedies, including without limitation specific performance, is subject to the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with general principles of equity and public policy (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (v) the enforceability of any agreement or obligation of the Company may be limited by (x) bankruptcy, rehabilitation, liquidation, conservation, dissolution, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, receivership or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights generally and (y) the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including without limitation, (1) the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy and (2) concepts of materiality, commercial reasonableness, conscionability, good faith and fair dealing.

 

C. We express no opinion herein as to the applicability to the obligations of the Company (or the enforceability thereof) of Section 548 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of law relating to fraudulent transfers, conveyances and obligations.

 

We express no opinion herein as to laws of any jurisdiction other than the law of the State of New York, the corporate law of the State of Nevada and the Federal law of the United States.  In rendering this opinion, we assume that the law of New York is identical to the law of Nevada in all respects.

 

The opinions contained herein are limited to those matters expressly covered by numbered paragraphs (1) through (7) above; no opinion is to be implied in respect of any other matter.  The opinions set forth in numbered paragraphs (1) through (7) are as of the date hereof and we disclaim any undertaking to update this letter or otherwise advise you as to any changes of law or fact which may hereafter be brought to our attention.

 

This letter and the opinions contained herein are furnished by us as counsel to the Company in connection with the transactions described above and are solely for your benefit and are not to be made available to or relied upon in any manner by any other Person, firm, or entity or for any other purpose without our prior written consent.

 

Very truly yours,
